This Position
VikingCloud is seeking an Executive Vice President of Global Engineering to serve as the company's top technology and engineering executive, leading all software engineering, quality assurance, and infrastructure operations across a global team. This role reports directly to the President and COO, and owns the full technical vision, architecture roadmap, and engineering execution for a cybersecurity and compliance company with more than 4 million customers.

VikingCloud is at a pivotal inflection point. The company operates two core technology platforms: a next-generation cloud-native platform, Asgard, which underpins VikingCloud's expanding product portfolio and a legacy platform with a series of multi-instance applications. The EVP of Engineering will own the strategy and execution to continue building on the Asgard platform, drive the consolidation and eventual retirement of legacy systems, and unify the engineering organization under a single modern operating model.

A core enabler of this transformation is the aggressive adoption of modern agentic AI tooling — using AI agents not merely to accelerate day-to-day coding, but to reverse-engineer the legacy codebase, extract behavioral specifications, generate behavioral-parity test suites, and drive the rewrite into a modern architecture at a pace that would be impossible with traditional engineering approaches. This is the defining technical challenge of the role, and successful candidates will have direct, hands-on experience applying agentic AI to legacy modernization at scale.

This is a hands-on executive leadership role for a change agent. The EVP of Engineering will make critical architecture decisions, reshape the leadership team as needed, drive AI adoption across the full development lifecycle, transform QA and deployment processes into a fully automated rapid-release engine, and build a metrics-driven engineering organization that can give customers and internal stakeholders credible commitments on delivery. They must be equally effective in a boardroom, a customer meeting, and a technical architecture review.
